Chance Mock is a former American football quarterback who played college football for the University of Texas and played professionally for the Austin Wranglers in the Arena Football League. Mock was an announcer for the Wranglers, before they folded in 2008.

High school career

Chance Mock attended The Woodlands High School in Houston, Texas, where he was a Parade All-American in 2000. Mock ranked number 9 on the Austin American-Statesman's College Football Recruiting Fab 55 for 2000, committing to The University of Texas at Austin that year.

College career

Mock was a backup quarterback during the Chris SimmsMajor Applewhite years, before getting the starting job in 2003. He played well in the first several games of the season before being pulled for Vince Young during the 2003 game versus the Oklahoma Sooners. He alternated time with Young after that, providing a very accurate classic drop-back threat to complement Vince Young's scrambling abilities.

Mock was the subject of much speculation during the 20032004 off-season as to whether he would transfer from Texas based on Vince Young winning the starting job. However, he decided to stay at Texas to be second string quarterback for the 2004 season.

Professional career

Mock went undrafted and attempted to sign on with several National Football League teams. Eventually, he signed to play QB for the Austin Wranglers, of the Arena Football League, based in Austin, Texas.

He later became the announcer for the Wranglers until they folded in 2008. After that he worked briefly for Triton Financial, a financial firm targeted at professional athletes that also employed Ty Detmer, Koy Detmer and Chris Weinke. He left in 2009 shortly before the company was sued in a civil action by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for defrauding investors in a multimillion-dollar insurance scam [1] and before the CEO was sent to prison for 17 years.[2] He was a co-host of the Adams Show, a radio show on Austin's ESPN radio affiliate, from August 2011 to July 2012. He is currently a Real Estate agent in Austin and Partner in Action Sports, a sporting goods company.[3]
